PULCINELLO CELEBRATES NAPLES CUP
The traditional “mask” Pulcinello, symbol of the people of Naples, could not have been excluded from the exuberant and joyful celebrations of the recent win of the Napoli team in this year's Italian Football championship. This is the third time the home team has attained brought the cup.
Artist Mimmo Paladino, a leader of the Italian Neo-Impressionism movement, has included Pulcinello in the festivities by portraying him in his latest work, entitled “Scala Reale” (Royal Flush – or the winning hand at poker) in which the clown is shown playing with a football.
The drawing joins the exhibition of 104 Pulcinello figures by Paladino currently on show at the Royal Palace of Naples.
The exhibition is set up in the Galleria del Genovese and will run until the 3rd October 2023. Until the 15th September 2023 part of the cost of the entrance ticket (which is included in the Royal Palace entry fee) will be used to fund recovery and restoration of art works damaged during the recent Italian flooding.
